Abstract
The present disclosure provides a roller making system for making a roller with a plurality of microstructures. The roller making system includes a coating unit to coat molten Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) material onto a lateral surface of a cylindrical workpiece, to obtain a semi-finished roller with an uniform ETFE layer after the molten ETFE material is solidified, and a microstructure forming unit to machine the ETFE layer of the semi-finished roller, to form the plurality of microstructures in the ETFE layer, thereby making a finished roller with the plurality of microstructures.
Claims9
A roller making system for making a roller with a plurality of microstructures, the roller making system comprising:
- a coating unit to coat molten Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) material onto a lateral surface of a cylindrical workpiece, to obtain a semi-finished roller with an uniform ETFE layer after the molten ETFE material is solidified;
- and
- a microstructure forming unit to machine the ETFE layer of the semi-finished roller, to form the plurality of microstructures in the ETFE layer, thereby making a finished roller with the plurality of microstructures.
A method for making a roller with a plurality of microstructures, the making method comprising:
- coat molten Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) material onto a lateral surface of a cylindrical workpiece, to obtain a semi-finished roller with an uniform ETFE layer after the molten ETFE material is solidified;
